George loved his music and his sports.
He taught my son Anthony, all about football, and Anthony loved every minute of it from the time he was seven years of age.
I hope he is with the angels listening to even more music.

George, thank you for teaching Anthony all about football from the year 1979 until 1985 as you sat with him and watched the games. He enjoyed every minute of the game,´till the day he passed away on October 16, 2023.
I do hope you are listening to the music you love surrounded by angels

John 14:1-4
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father´s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
Love and God Bless,
Karin & Christine
